You should avoid reusing damp or improperly stored tea leaves to prevent bacterial growth, mold, and loss of quality. Key Risks • Bacteria/mold: Wet leaves breed bacteria in warm, moist conditions—unsafe after 3-24 hours max, risking stomach issues. • Taste degradation: Flavors turn flat/stale; tannins make it bitter/acidic (worse for black teas like Darjeeling FOP).​ • Reduced benefits: Antioxidants/polyphenols deplete after 1-2 brews; nutrients fade fast.
